McGregor, TX is full of fun places any time of year. Find out why summer in particular proves that even fun is bigger in Texas.

1. Take a Tour of Summer’s Nature

This laid-back town offers a plethora of opportunities for fun in the sun. Begin your odyssey at 2032 Blue Cut Road N.’s Blue Hills Ranch. The sunny season is the absolute best time to enjoy unique outdoor adventures, whether you view zebras, mustangs, and even kangaroos in their element on the safari tour, swim with otters, bottle-feed baby camels, or even dine with giraffes. You could behold those beautiful state flower Texas bluebonnets if they’re still in bloom too.

Don’t miss a stay in the ranch’s one-of-a-kind themed cabins. For a more tranquil seasonal getaway, book a room at the historic Magnolia House featured on HGTV. And the season’s got plentiful canyon trail hiking and camping excursions courtesy of Mother Neff State Park in Moody. Or for a memorable hiking trek right through four miles of McGregor, venture onto the Cotton Belt Trail.

2. Dance the Night Away

The locale formerly known as 5J Dance Hall has been reborn as the 5J Venue, but it still serves up the same foot-stomping good times at 31727 East McGregor Drive. With rustic charm and a fantastically fun farmhouse feel, this location’s perfect for seasonal parties and other extravaganzas where you put on your best dancing shoes. As this is the season of wedded bliss, 5J’s also ideal as a venue for the big day.

Take the party on the road with the 14-speaker high-performance Bose audio system. This Advanced Staging Technology and SurroundStage sound juggernaut is available on the red-hot Chevy Corvette Stingray.

3. Sunny Sizzle in the City

McGregor’s part of the Waco metro area, so a trip to this exciting city’s a great June to August weekend getaway. The Waco Mammoth National Monument at 6220 Steinbeck Bend Drive is the place to set up camp for your youngest family members, as the famed fossil site provides junior ranger opportunities.

For sizzling night entertainment, the Backyard and its massive outdoor stage at 511 South 8th Street delivers a regular roster of fantastic concerts on seasonally warm nights under a clear sky. If you’re itching for aquatic action, take a journey along the world’s longest lazy river or enjoy inland surfing fun at 5347 Olid Mexia Road’s Waco Surf. And for the most spectacular celebration of the season, watch the wow-worthy fireworks and listen to the stylings of the Patriotic Celebration at Touchdown Alley’s Fourth on the Brazos.

Beat the heat with a cool new ride. Drop by Jim Turner Chevrolet and get your season started right with a sneak preview of our enticing inventory.
